Coriander Essential Oil
Coriander Essential Oil is traditionally known to aid digestion. Tonic and purifying, Coriander essential oil is used as a memory stimulant and to fight against physical and mental fatigue.
The origin of Coriander is uncertain. It grows wild in the Near East and Southern Europe, hence the comment: “It is difficult to define exactly where this plant is wild and where it has only recently established itself”. A few dried pericarps have been found in the Nahal Hemar cave in Israel, which is perhaps the oldest archaeological trace of Coriander (around 6000 BC). In Egypt, the oldest evidence of the use of the fruits is a papyrus dated 1550 BC which lists medicinal plants. Pericarps were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Their presence is common in other tombs of ancient Egypt at that time. As coriander does not exist in the wild in Egypt, this discovery is like a proof that coriander was cultivated.
Coriander seems to have also been cultivated in Ancient Greece at least since the 2nd millennium BC. In France, archaeological excavations have brought to light the presence of Coriander since Antiquity (between the 1st century BC and the 5th century). It is one of the plants whose cultivation was recommended in the royal domains by Charlemagne at the end of the 8th or beginning of the 9th century.
